The Honorable Robert Hartmann Counsellor to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Hartmann: All of us involved in the production of the Convention Film that preceded the President's Acceptance Speech want to thank you most sincerely for your participation in the interview sessions that were necessary for its development. It was evident to those of us who were present for all the interviews that the President is very highly regarded and respected by all those close to him. Consistent and honest commentary of the kind you provided us gave the film (as it will any future advertising) a believability that made it a motivating documentary about the President rather than a political advertisement. Once again, we thank you for your assistance, and hope that you will give us the opportunity to request your help in the future should that be necessary. Sincerely 1 _) l 4T~1 Clayton E.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Cabinet FROM: Jim Baker~~ RE: Advocate Travel
In order to assure an effective Advocate Program and to reduce the possibility of. adverse comment. the PFC has decided to simplify the manner in which political events are scheduled and the manner in which the PFC pays for such expenses. For the general election period the following rebuttable presumptions have been established in order to guide both the PFC and the Advocates regarding their travel and payment for related expenses: 1. All public appearances by Cabinet Members after the nomination will be considered candidate related in nature and paid for by the PFC, except those official activities scheduled by the respective Executive Agency prior to August 19, 1976; and 2. All public appearances by Cabinet Members after October 16, 1976, including those official activities scheduled by the respective Executive Agency prior to August 19, 1976,will be considered candidate related in nature and paid for by the President Ford Committee.
The President Ford Committee, Rogers C. B. Morton, Chairman, Robert Mosbacher, National Finance Chairman. Robert C. Moot, Treasurer. A COP}' of our Report is filed with the Federal Election Commission and is tffailable for purchase from the Federal Election Commission, Washington, D.C. .20463. (2) '
Thus, official activities scheduled prior to the date of nomination (August 19, 1976) may remain on the Cabinet Member's official schedule. The previous deter mination by PFC and White House counsel that it would be appropriate for the PFC to add supplemental political activities to the official schedule once the latter has been established will continue as our policy. The PFC will, of course, pay a reasonable portion of the expenses incurred for such political activity in accordance with previously issued allocation memoranda. Finally, the PFC Advocate Scheduling Office will forward to your off ice by the close of business this week a recoIIIlilended plan regarding your travel during the general election. 4"h Pit~ Republican National Committee.

As per our conversation yesterday, I acr enclosing two "Letters to t:ae 3ditor" from the Denver .Post, which I hope will be ac lmowledged. 1. Bob Tensing was executive director to Dwight Hamilton, imme diate past Chairman, during the Nixon years. He has PR back ground. Bob Dole will appreciate it.
2. I would like to see ~ill Meris receive a letter from the President :bhanking him for his campaign button idea. Je think it is clever. 3. Kenneth Reiland, age 11, is to receive an award from the ;fhi te House sometime this week. He left for ~lashing ton Sunday. Doug .Damerst, who is with Triple A in Denver, called me about him. we'd like some Colorado publicity on him; such as the President meeting him, or a letter of coI!h~enda tion from the President. Doug has worlced in previous caa paigns and wants to work for the President. I'll pass the name along.

Supported entirely by membership dues and contribu tions, Forty Plus is managed and operated by its members on a volunteer basis. No public funds, grants, or other monies are used to support this organization. Forty Plus of Washington is designed to help the job campaigns of professionals and executives seeking new or renewed employment in the Washington area. Our only requirements are that the applicant be 40 or more years of age, and that he or she have worked in a pro fessional or executive capacity. You appear eminently qualified. As a presidential candidate, you have expressed your concern with unemployment (much of it long-term), your concern with the need to reduce the Federal Government's role, and your desire to put people to work. Your Party's platform speaks out on the critical need to reduce unemployment in the nation. Enclosed is an analysis of the Republican Party platform with respect to unemployment and the role of Forty Plus in dealing with it. Also enclosed is background information on Forty Plus organizations. You can help highlight the efforts of some of the over 150,000 people across the country -- the unemployed professional men and women over 40 years of age constituting some two percent of the total unemployed -- who are attempting to help themsejves and their co-members through this cooperative program. ... ' -2- Your participation will dramatize the self-help principle. It will demonstrate your personal sensitivity for the unemployed. It may help your campaign. Since we are non-partisan, we are issuing a comparable invitation to your opponent. Your participation will give tremendous help to the many men and women who are now using (and the many more who could use) the aid of the Forty Plus organizations across the nation. We therefore ask you to join us in this very worthyeffort.
